In this part of Spain (Fuencaliente, Portollano) we found so much trash it is incredible. Such a shame to see this waste. We tried to clean this park a bit but....

For decades, scientists have tried to unlock the secrets of ancient DNA. But life’s genetic blueprint is incredibly fragile, and researchers have struggled to find genetic material in fossils that has survived for millions of years. Then, one maverick scientist had the controversial idea of looking for DNA not in fossils or frozen ancient tissue – but in the soil.
This film follows the scientists deciphering the oldest DNA ever found and revealing for the first time the genes of long-extinct creatures that once thrived in warm, lush Arctic landscapes.
Very well made video. I like when Mara narrates actually, it is quite easy to listen/follow. Plus maybe you can focus more on what you film, edit, the story?
Very interesting project. But I was also wondering how do they support the project? How did you guys join them? Did you pay? Did they train all of those other people for free?

What It’s REALLY Like on a Dolphin Research Expedition
Mara first time ever joined Dolphin research expedition in France together with NGO Miraceti. If you want join such expedition go to : ttps://miraceti.org/

They have some funds and grants. But also part of the funding comes from volunteers who joins their missions or go trough the training. Normally you have to pay, but since we were making video we paid only for the food on board.
Ya I know it is a link, I clicked it, it was in french. Could not figure it out how they make money or if these volunteers have to pay to participate. All Im saying is that for your videos would be useful to include some basic info about this - because both I and Sasha were wondering after seeing the video if you guys had to pay for the training for example.
Psychology is like recycling, you think it is working, but it is not. Never addresses the core problem. So easy to put people into categories and call them "sick". Works well for a livestock society. Best excuse to never touch the system in both cases. Continue recycling...continue labeling people as mentally ill. And let the system survive....
Truth is the opposite. It is this trade-based society that makes people mentally sick, and if we want to change that we have to change the society, not adjust the people to it.
It was so great to meet with these wonderful people in the South of Spain. Thank you for coming to meet with us. Great time, great friends, great memories 😃
Yo, listen up, damn it. You're out in the middle of fuckin' nowhere, right? I'm askin', you packin' heat or what? That's some crazy remote shit, ain't nobody around for miles. What the fuck you gonna do if some psycho or some other crazy ass motherfucker comes at you? You just gonna stand there and take it, or you got a plan to defend yourself? For real, how you gonna protect yourself out here, huh?

Much of life on earth is connected by a vast, hidden network that we are only just beginning to understand. Out of sight, between the world of plants and animals, another realm exists – the kingdom of fungi.
Passionate biologist and writer Merlin Sheldrake travels the globe, exploring the secret world of fungi. Through dazzling images of fungi under the microscope and all around us in the forest, Merlin unravels the many secrets of these essential organisms. So much more than mushrooms, not only do fungi shape the weather and support life on land, they are also at the cutting edge of medical research and even have the power to break down plastic waste.
This film takes us from the ancient Tasmanian Tarkine rainforest to the mystical wilds of China’s Yunnan Province, in search of solutions to some of our planet’s biggest challenges. Can the answers be found in the wonderful world of fungi?
I visited my family in Russia after over 5 years of not seeing them. Babushkas are getting older, but still walking and feeding cats, ducks and pigeons 😊 I wrote about their funny habits in chapter 3 of my book bigworldsmallsasha.com/book/ Feels so long ago now 🥲
I used the standard Pixel camera in astrophotography mode. Since I use CalyxOS the processing likely happens on the device itself, so no google nonsense. After I took the photo I edited it with RawTherapee
I wish we could see it with our own eyes :D - because even this I could not see it myself, but the phone captured it... We need to go to a super dark place and gaze at the sky. I fucking love this literal window to the universe :)
No it is more like Lightroom from Adobe. Geared towards editing photos - colors, light, contrast, shades, etc.. Much more advanced than what Gimp can do. And also trade-free :).
@small circle 🕊 in calmness Part of the problem is that many things that used to be non-profit or cooperatives have become for profit. And once they became for profit, it became all about the money. Not everything should be for profit.
Our Gofundme for backing up all of our projects has been completed! Thank you Raimondas for the latest donation and to the rest who have donated! gofundme.com/f/paying-for-the-…
search.trom.tf/ was moved to our secondary server to avoid future problems with the hosting that warned us against recently about a kind of "abuse" - We think might have been the search engine that probes the searx instance list when doing a search. Will see.
But for now the TROM Search works as usual only that it has been moved to a different server.
ALARCÓN: this was a very beautiful place to stay for one night. Amazing view directly from our window. Tio also got his head stuck in the roof. A bird also shat on Sasha 😃.
